| Obverse description | At center, a perched falcon displayed in profile faces left, standing atop an ornamental pedestal, symbolizing the national emblem. To the left, a traditional Bedouin tent is depicted in fine detail, while to the right a classic Arabian dhow under sail is rendered in relief, with an open oyster shell containing pearls beside it. The composition evokes the three pillars of Kuwait's heritage — the desert, the sea, and pearl diving. The entire central scene is enclosed within a crenellated decorative border, and a curved Arabic commemorative legend arcs along the lower portion of the field. |

The entire design is enclosed within a crenellated decorative border mirroring the obverse. |
